SweetGames !

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Hi everybody,

This week we’ve officially launched the new SweetIM games center - “SweetGames” !

Thousands of games are waiting for you in the games center !

You can either play online or download to your pc, play the single player games or the multiplayer games with your friends…   We just want you to have fun !   Cause as long as you’re having fun - we’re having fun .

Ohh, and it’s all for FREE !

We’ve partnered with the world’s leading multi-platform casual games company - Oberon Media, to deliver the best games ever.

At the moment you can access the games center from our IM menus, either by clicking on the games center banner located in the “Special Content” category, or by clicking on the various links embedded in some of our new “Winks”.

Another option is to simply go to: http://games.sweetim.com and start having fun…

100,000,000

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Hi Everybody,

I’ve got some VERY good news !!!

Today started as another regular day… morning coffee, some chit-chats, an air-hockey match (or two… ) but then came the big news:

This morning SweetIM have reached 100,000,000 registered users !

Yes.   Believe it or not, this is not a mistake or a joke.
In the 3+ years since our very first version launched - 100,000,000 , that is one hundred million people around the globe, using MSN, Yahoo, and AIM messengers have logged into our servers, downloaded, watched, sent and enjoyed our cool content !
Personally, as a person who’s been here since the very first user downloaded our application, It’s almost impossible for me to explain how proud I am writing this post, how thankful I am for all of these users helping us along the way, and how lucky I am to be a part of such a great team and family - which obviously non of these would have happened without them.
.
They say the first 100 Million are the hardest…

SweetIM for ICQ beta officially started !

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Hi everybody,

I’m glad to announce that we’ve officially started the beta tests of SweetIM version 2.6.

The first few users have received their invitations this morning and have already reported a few minor bugs.

At this point we are only testing the integration with ICQ.  Hopefully we’ll start testing the integration with Messenger Plus! soon.

I’m reminding you that if you are an ICQ user and would like to participate in the beta tests, you’ll have to send us an email to “info@sweetim.com” with your name and ICQ #.

That sexy computer technician

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Even though I never really needed their service I always had in mind that computer technicians are…

Geeks !

Well it turns out I was wrong… Here’s how computer technicians at SweetIM look like:

You can find our new technician in our menus….

What’s been keeping us busy…

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Hi folks,

I know we haven’t been with you for the past few days and you were probably wondering what’s been keeping us so busy…

Well we’re working around the clock on this new version we’re about to release.

I’m sure a lot of people will thank us for this version as I know many of Messenger Plus’ users have had some compatability issues with SweetIM, and many ICQ users have requested SweetIM for ICQ in the past !

That’s it for today,

just wanted to keep you posted.

New version supporting ICQ & MsgPlus!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Hi Everybody,

We’ve got some good news, and some even better news:
Due to the great success and popularity of SweetIM among MSN, Yahoo, and AIM Messengers users (millions of active users !!), we’ve decided that it’s simply wrong to leave so many ppl out there in the world without our cool content just because they are using a different IM !

So the good news is that we’ve decided to develop SweetIM for ICQ as well !
The even better news is that it’s almost ready, which means our Emoticons, Winks, Sounds, Videos, Nudges, and the rest of our cool content will be available for ICQ users soon !

We’re currently looking for ICQ users to participate in our Beta tests.
Feel free to register for it by sending an email to info@sweetim.com with the subject “ICQ beta” and with your ICQ number.

Also on this version:

* Some bugs fixes.

* Messenger Plus! support.

We’re also looking for Messenger Plus! users for beta testing the new version.  So if you’re a Messenger Plus! user - Feel free to register for it by sending an email to info@sweetim.com with the subject “MsgPlus beta” and with your Messenger contact info.

Recently used items

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Did you know ?

The first 2-3 rows of our main menus (Emoticons, Winks, Sounds, etc…) are actually the items that were recently used / last used by you !

So if you’ve found a content you like somewhere inside our menu, the next time you’de like to send it will be much easier, just open the main menu of the category this content belongs to and voila… it will be there.
